This traditional Greek recipe (Garides Saganaki) shows that Prawns, Feta and tomatoes are a great combination. It works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so is best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice. white beans or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style.

As we know, fish is a very important part of the Mediterranean diet, it´s low in fat, high in protein and loaded with many health benefits. This dish is loaded with flavors, easy to make and it´s all done using just one pan.

This substantial tortilla is delicious hot or cold. Cut it into chunky wedges and serve for supper or a light lunch with a fresh tomato and basil salad. The addition of spicy chorizo and tangy cheese gives it a wonderful, rich flavor.

This recipe is Hungarian Goulash in disguise - tho only difference is that it substitutes pork for the traditional beef.
A generous amount of Hungarian Paprika makes this dish flavorful and moderately spicy.

Margaret reverse engineered this salad after eating it at the Capers Restaurant on Marine Drive. I have since discovered that it was first created by Constance Spry for the Queen's Coronation lunch in 1953. There are now dozens of variations to be found on the internet.
